Good Old Fashioned Type Biography,
By
This review is from: George Washington Carver: An American Biography (Hardcover)
This book is well written. Unlike many of the biographies on the bookshelves of the national chains these days, this biography was not written to sell so much as to inform and enlighten. The author gives us a very close glimpse of Carver, from his youth through his college years and professional life. The reader feels as though he has met this man at one time or another because the author has presented Mr Carver's progression and accomplishments through life in a very human light. There are constant reminders of the motives behind Carver's decisions and actions which stem from his personal Christian belief that he is on mission to fulfill a purpose and find meaning in his life and career by serving others. I believe that this biography is very informative and does great service to a great man by accurately presenting the facts of his life and his deepest feelings and thoughts. This book was written at a time before the onslaught of cheap biographies which are now published to entice the reader with "national enquirer" style gossip and political correctness, the sole purpose being to ring the cash register. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Georre W. Carver on a deeper level.

I REALLY LIKED READING ABOUT SUCH A GREAT AFRICAN AMERICAN.,
By A Customer
This review is from: George Washington Carver: An American Biography (Hardcover)
THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A EXTRAODRINARY MAN, GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER. HE WAS A GREAT AMERICAN WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD AS A SCIENTIST, HUMANITARIAN, AND AND AMBASSADOR OF GOOD WILL. ONE THING THAT MAKES THIS BOOK UNIQUE IS THAT IT WAS PUBLISHED SHORTLY AFTER HIS DEATH, SO MANY PEOPLE THAT KNEW HIM WERE STILL ALIVE. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYOME WHO IS INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT G. W. CARVER.

George Washington Carver by Rackham Holt,
By J. J. Roberts (Young Harris, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: George Washington Carver: An American Biography (Hardcover)
This is an exceptionally well written biography of one of histories truly great scientists. The power of his intellect developed through many years of struggle and emerged to provide us and the World with a gentle giant. He was a scientist who had no limits to his capacity to study and contribute to all. This book served as a guide for my father who lectured to many audiences about the valuable accmplishments of Dr. Carver. We presented that book and my father's lecture notes to Tuskegee recently.
